In the wake of that Ron Brown-led revival meeting at Beaver Stadium Saturday, some cranks are raising that old argument against an employee of a publicly funded institution leading prayer in a public building. As a confirmed crank myself, I am somewhat sympathetic to the argument, but I'm in a weak moral position to make the case, since, I must confess -- if not Confess -- that I have been known to surreptitiously peek at my cell phone during Saturday night Mass to check on the Huskers’ score. If I am to take football into His house, I hardly can argue against allowing His word in the stadium, can I? I believe the Lord would call this a plank in my eye.
